Cilantro Café at Dusk, Emerald Lake, Canadian Rockies
Yesterday afternoon, I returned from a challenging sixteen days in the Canadian Rockies. Challenging because during my time spent there, I witnessed and endured temperatures down to -40° plus windchill and this was a whole level of cold that I had yet to experience.
This brings about its own issues when trying to photograph the scenery and I like others I know, fell ill due to the weather. I still am having a doctor confirm yesterday that I have a chest infection but for all the challenges posed, there is no doubting that the scenery looks spectacular.
This image here was the very final one that I took on the last evening before jetting home. I arrived with my clients in tow to find the cafe's interior lights on (which is hugely important in capturing this scene) but thirty minutes before dusk, the staff turned them off so I walked to the Emerald Lake Lodge around the back and kindly asked the staff if they could turn them back on and I am delighted that they did just that.
You really need the interior lights on to have the cafe offer up the warmth in the setting of the blue hour. This turned out perfectly and I am so pleased with the finished edit.
Regarding equipment, I have had so many of you message me privately asking how my Canon EOS R copped in such cold temps and I am delighted to confirm that the EOS R never missed a beat. I have been so impressed with this camera and how it has handled everything that I continue to throw at it. Canon has made a bulletproof mirrorless camera it seems.
Anyhow, I shall be sharing more images in the coming days. I hope you enjoy looking through them.
